 x - 2 
$$\frac{2 x - 1}{x - 2}$$
(2*x - 1)/(x - 2)
Detail solution
  1. Apply the quotient rule, which is:

    and .

    To find :

    1. Differentiate term by term:

      1. The derivative of the constant is zero.

      2. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

        1. Apply the power rule: goes to

        So, the result is:

      The result is:

    To find :

    1. Differentiate term by term:

      1. The derivative of the constant is zero.

      2. Apply the power rule: goes to

      The result is:

    Now plug in to the quotient rule:


The answer is:

The first derivative [src]
  2     2*x - 1 
----- - --------
x - 2          2
        (x - 2) 
$$\frac{2}{x - 2} - \frac{2 x - 1}{\left(x - 2\right)^{2}}$$
The second derivative [src]
  /     -1 + 2*x\
2*|-2 + --------|
  \      -2 + x /
-----------------
            2    
    (-2 + x)     
$$\frac{2 \left(-2 + \frac{2 x - 1}{x - 2}\right)}{\left(x - 2\right)^{2}}$$
The third derivative [src]
  /    -1 + 2*x\
6*|2 - --------|
  \     -2 + x /
----------------
           3    
   (-2 + x)     
$$\frac{6 \left(2 - \frac{2 x - 1}{x - 2}\right)}{\left(x - 2\right)^{3}}$$
